The Insecticides: Backstage - Voice Actors for short animations

Project Overview

Introduction

Hello, I'm Triplexxor, and I am working on a passion project called The Insecticides: BackStage. It is a series of short comic pages, paintings, and short animations. I have been working on it for the past 4 years and would now want to search for voice actors to make my animations come alive. I am excited to hear what you can do!
You can find my animations on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Triplexxor and on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/triplexxor.bsky.social

Setting

In a time where insects rule the world, a small ant decides to leave her anthill to pursue her dream of becoming a rock star. She’s joined on her journey by two others, Bethany the spider and Mark the bee. Everything might not be as it seems on the outside, as everyone has their own baggage to carry.

 

The Insecticides is a story about pursuing your dreams, while also handling your own emotions and feelings.


Description
The project is centered around a small ant called Amelia, and we follow her as she goes about her days off the stage and tries to handle her mood swings. She will go on all manners of adventures with her friends. But it won't all be happy as she is suffering from depression and dissociation.

I will keep the scope small at first, as it is unpaid, but I plan to raise the scope as my resources grow. At which point, I am open to discussing pay with you.

It will just be small animations at first, so no special talent is needed for that. But the bigger final project involves an animated web series and a music album, so singing would be mandatory at that point. But that is possibly some years away.

Latest Updates

  • Hiatus

    Hi, thanks for showing interest in my project. Unfortunately, I didn't get any auditions for Amelia and Octavia.

    This means that I am unable to continue with any voice acting, as they are all very important. Therefore I will have to take a short break from searching.

    But don't worry, I hope to be back and look for voice actors at a later date. In the meantime, I will work on other projects. You can follow me on Bluesky for updates on what I'm currently working on: https://bsky.app/profile/triplexxor.bsky.social

Name: Mark Gender: Male Age: 20s Species: Bee Profession: Guitarist

Mark is an egocentric bee with a huge ego. He is competitive to a fault and sees himself as better than everyone else. He has come to the belief that the whole world is against him and acts accordingly, with a snarky and really bad attitude.

He joined the band in belief that he would become famous and doesn’t like to take orders from others, which means that he often clashes with Amelia.

Accent: TBD

Voice: TBD

Pacing: Calm and nonchalant 

Emotion: Dismissive and patronizing

Language:
  • english
Voice description:
  • male young adult
  • [Dismissive] Sorry little kid. But I don’t do autographs. Unless you have money.

  • [frustrated, raised voice] I will be happy when I have something to be happy about!

  • [Angry, raised voice] One coin? Is that all you can do? You stingy loser!
